His own eyes narrowed with the same feeling. How did she know his name? In any other situation, in some other world, from someone else's mouth, he would have swelled with pride. Oozed with the egotistical air he seemed to be addicted to portraying.

"So, you've heard of me, have you?" He recovered, and placed one foot on the first step. The other one followed as soon as he had a hand on the railing.

Being trapped here wouldn't be so bad if it got him what he wanted anyway. The Princess of Heart was the key to getting Roxas back, and if she was here instead of Destiny Islands (like the trio he could see on the ceiling), then maybe his portals hadn't taken on a mind of their own, after all. The grin that had started to form dulled, slowly flickered off at mention of her friend.

She knew more than he did. That was... unsettling.

He eyed the arm on her middle, before drawing green eyes back up to her. He ascended a few more steps, until he came to a halt. It wasn't like she had anywhere to run to, unless she intended to jump off the top of the landing. She might have been upset, but she didn't strike him as suicidal.

"You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a little on the defensive side. Now, that's just not right. Have I given you any reason to fear me, Kairi?" The words in the right tone would've been touching, but the drawl and emphasis on certain words put any idea of that out of mind. He was.. almost mocking her.
